On your Gene Expression Chart, put one checkmark in the ON column for the GATA-1 gene.
Then, put three check marks in the ON column for the PU.1 gene.
On your model, add one rubberband around your cell.
Using the tip of a toothpick, push several small holes into your cell model.
Your cell is now a monocyte. Look at the chart below to follow your path of development.
